The book "From Hypertension to Heart Failure" will cover new aspects of the
treatment of hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure and coronary artery
diseases. The topics will include new pathophysiological findings, the
theoretical background of pharmacological treatment, results of the latest
studies, and practical guidelines for treatment. Case reports will make the book
applicable for a broad readership of general internists. The therapy of heart
failure with betablockers is one of the most controversially discussed topics in
cardiovascular medicine. Therefore, the book will critically deal with this new
form of therapy for this disabling condition.
